I don't think it makes sense to define monopoly as a binary state. There are ways that companies with monopoly power behave even if you can argue the company itself isn't a monopoly. And, for what it's worth, copyright owners

Are you asking why a corporation wouldn't build stuff cheaper elsewhere, or why we as a populace might want to prevent it? Because those are two different questions with two different answers.

They also had a bunch of employee turnover and haven't done anything interesting with electric cars in ~6 years. The i3 was really good back then, boring now.

It's worth writing something in an ML or Haskell sometime. Functional programming is great, and it makes my code in things like JavaScript much more robust.

It's basically just like a method call on a future: use hyper::Client; let client = Client::new(); let resp = client.get(url).await;

It's the best way to get close to China without actually having to put infrastructure in China. There's a _lot_ of demand for access to China, and many companies who want it are fine with Hong Kong.

Ooops, not sure you'll ever see this, but my main method of getting coffee has been subscription services. I invariably get way too much coffee using normal subscriptions.

I have a fair amount of familiarity with Ketamine infusion clinics in the Chicago area. Prices seem to be $400-600 per treatment. They like people to go 3-6 times in the first two weeks, and then way less frequently after that. It has been

Ketamine infusions for depression are pretty expensive, but not $7000/mo. They seem to run about $400-600 per treatment.

You don't know that with any app, though ... right? The only thing TLS gives you is knowledge of what can happen between you and whatever terminates TLS. It tells you nothing about what happens after that

I waste way less coffee using Bottomless than I did before. Cheaper for me, better for the environment. Real world doesn't have to mean "huge".

You'd have to work really hard to share code between Lambda@Edge and ... anything else, unfortunately.

(shameless, but possibly helpful plug) You can run CF worker code locally, write tests, etc using our edge app runtime: https://github.com/superfly/fly

Hi! I'm from fly.io! You can write JavaScript that runs just fine on both fly.io and Cloud Flare workers. We both target the in browser Service Worker API. We actually have a few users that deploy the same code to us + Cloud Flare, and

(shameless, but possibly helpful plug) We have a runtime that can be used similarly to Cloud Flare workers. You can even write JS that runs on both since we both target the browser's Service Worker API. You can run it locally, deploy i

It's definitely ok to not know what flutter is. It seems a little unreasonable to expect specialized projects to define everything from the ground up, though.

by mrkurt 8y ago
It's safe to say that if you aren't already interested in Flutter, you probably don't need to pay much attention to this project.

The rent/price ratio is reasonably attractive if you bet on houses appreciating and taxes staying the same.

The mechanics aren't the hard part, I don't think. Managing emotions and being energetic are. If I were trying to start a company on my own I'd make sure I had a hobby that involved interactions with other people, and then tr

It's not really a fine line. There are specific, protected people-features you can't use to discriminate. Saying stupid shit isn't one of them. Race is. Those laws don't exist because we don't agree with their reaso

We have people doing exactly this with fly.io, you could also do it with lambda@edge if you're a masochist. Or with Cloud Flare workers if you dislike small startups.

Improv is one the most fun and useful thing I've done. I don't think I had any diagnosable social issues, but it's made me better socially. It's also made me better at presenting and pitching. And it's given me some

I love the idea of app servers tunneling out (we have an OSS project that does similar: https://github.com/superfly/wormhole ). I really hope we get to where that's the default.

Customers got emails a few days before this, and they're getting a lot of help. It's easy to criticize but I think they're handling it pretty well.

Isolates are limited to a single thread. There's no built in way to throttle an isolate's CPU usage, but you can manage the thread it belongs to. Which means isolates aren't inherently worse for CPU contention than processe
